Venat

From Final Fantasy - Wiki on Neoseeker

Venat is one of the antagonists of Final Fantasy XII. Venat is an Occurian, and like all Occuria is genderless. It was branded a heretic for abandoning the ways of the Occurian, who seek to control the fate of Man. Venat works with Vayne Solidor and Dr. Cid to put the “reigns of history back in the hands of Man”.

Venat first met Dr. Cid six years prior to the start of the game at Giruvegan, where it filled Dr. Cid’s head with ideas of manufaced nethicite. Dr. Cid became obsessed with it, agreeing that it was the only way to regain control of their destiny. Venat is often accompanying Dr. Cid, though invisible, making it seem that Dr. Cid is speaking with no one. Believing his father to have gone mad, Balthier abandoned his position as Judge to become a sky pirate.

After Balthier and the party defeat Dr. Cid at the Pharos at Ridorana, Venat travels with Vayne on board the Bahamut. When Vayne is mortally wounded by Vaan, Venat gives up its life and fuses with Vayne as a reward for all of his efforts, transforming Vayne into The Undying. Even with this strength, however, Vayne is defeated by the player party and explodes into dust.
